A Gentlemen’s Convergence

34 pax including 2 FNG’s converged upon the monstrous AO known as Anvil to see what both Mermaid and YHC had planned for the special morning.

The Thang

Mermaid led us around a loop for a quick, yet painful, COP

SSH, IW, Mnt Climbers, 6 inches with leg lifts, burpees etc. There may have been a few more. It was a shoulder smoker

Spack Q

Partner up for CMIYC to McAlpine Elementary – other partner 10 merkins. Once you get to the school you and your partner knock out 50 burpees and 100 merkins cumulatively. Then CMIYC back to Anvil. Mary until the six got back.

Mary and more running – partner 1 runs down to the last light pole and back while partner 2 does Mary. Flapjack. 300 Dolly. 100 bicycle.

Finished with 6 100 yard sprints

Moleskine

Once again Mermaid delivered the most eloquent disclaimer that could be given in all A51. Just glad you remembered to include me in there. #Belch

Hadn’t seen Alf in awhile. Should have brought those screwdrivers. Next time.

Mermaid and YHC agreed he would run the COP and I would take care of the rest. He promised a shoulder smoker. He delivered. His portion was less than 10 minutes and YHC had Deep Dish all up in his ear begging me to takeover the workout sooner.

Lot’s of chatter early. “You suck Spackler” “Real original Spackler” “He must have made this up on the drive over this morning”. All somewhat true statements. Chatter didn’t last long. Mission accomplished.

YHC told the FNG’s to partner up with a vet so they didn’t get lost on the run. Horsehead partnered with one. His FNG ditched him.

Lot’s of fast guys out there today. You don’t need YHC to mention you. Keep your pride in check fellas.

Several ‘vets’ and I won’t mention their names but Semi Gloss, Baracas and Stone Cold all decided to do face to face imaginary tea bag squats in lieu of burpees and merkins. Must be BRR season. #ProudOfYou

“What is a balloon knot” was among several awkward moments presented in the church parking lot this AM.

We had 2 FNG’s – respond below in comments to finalize –

John – (Full House but I’d like to throw out Kimmy or Gibbler)

Jake – ( Jockstrap but I like Fundies)

Appreciate Hops taking us out in prayer.

Thank You to Stinger for sharing his story today. Powerful stuff. Hope to catch you at an AO in the near future.

I vote for Kimmy and Fundies for the FNGs.
Thankful to my partner Turkey Leg for doing 61% of the burpees at McAlpine.
Baracus was doing his best Chelms impersonation this morning during the sprints.
Not a bad ad-libbed Q by Spackler, But a shame we did not take advantage of the best AO in area 51. Hopefully, the Qs at the memorial day workout at rock zero will make up for that.

Too wet to take advantage. Probably the only time I will ever say that.

Was on the way to Champs field for COP when 2 cars rolled in. Crazy Ivan to grab the 6. No man left. Would have been nice and wet/muddy for our McAlpine jaunt, but had to get those guys. Joker may have been one of them. He coulda caught us easy. Enjoyed that today. Nice job Spack. T-claps to D-Wood for planning and Stinger for testimony. Thanks to all who posted

Spackler, we know how sensitive you are… so I just wanted you to know that I really enjoyed your workout.

All kidding aside, I enjoyed the running and I enjoyed watching guys do all those burpees [wow, that looked difficult while I was doing my squats].

My partner.. Semi Gloss – aka Skinny Semi Gloss – showed up to the workout dripping in sweat. I assumed it was just a tough outing at the local porta-potty, but turns out he did a pre-run. So, you can imagine how thrilled he was to run to McAlpine elementary.
